The winds were light, but in a few days time a fairly strong weather system was due to arrive over Northland. We wanted to be back in the Bay of Islands before it came in and needed to wrap up our cruising in this area.
We left Whangaroa harbor and went to look at a mainland anchorage to the south called Whangaihe Bay. It was beautiful, with black water and pine trees, but in the end we decided to go back to the Cavalli Islands, specifically Waiti Bay on Motukawanui Island. Our time in that lovely bay had been cut short by weather, and we wanted to go back and do some hiking and swimming.
There are a few pictures from Whangaroa Harbour that didn’t fit into the posts, which means it’s time for a final gallery. It was a little sad to leave one of our favorite areas, but there were many adventures waiting ahead of us. Here’s our final gallery of Whangaroa pictures. As always, click to enlarge and scroll. –Cyndi
